New updates every single week

All five expansion packs

Much more…

A brand new mode that we said was going to be announced at Gamescom 2013, was also unveiled. It’s entitled “Obliteration” was briefly discussed at one point as well. It’ll include random bomb spawning, and will have the “capture a flag” styled format about it.
